Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Motorcycles
Ducati unveiled the 2027 Panigale V2 SP at EICMA 2026, priced at $21,795. It is based on the Panigale V2 S and keeps its 120-horsepower 890cc V-twin engine.
Why it matters
The model is built to meet racing homologation requirements as Ducati returns to the FIM Supersport World Championship with the same 890cc platform. It shows how the brand is carrying track-focused components into its road-going lineup.
The bike has a 58.3-inch wheelbase, 3.3 pounds lighter wheels than the V2 S, and a claimed wet weight of 388 pounds with a 4.0-gallon fuel tank. Ducati says the dry clutch could add 1.2 horsepower with racing oil, a figure it has not independently verified.
The players
Ducati
Ducati is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer based in Bologna known for its high-performance V-twin and desmodromic-valve road and racing bikes.
The details
The Panigale V2 SP uses an STM EVO-SBK dry slipper clutch in place of the V2 S wet clutch, along with a longer aluminum double-sided swingarm inspired by the Panigale V4. It also has five-spoke forged aluminum wheels and fully adjustable Öhlins suspension.

Roadmap
The Panigale V2 SP extends Ducati's 890cc V-twin platform by bringing racing-derived hardware, including a dry clutch and longer swingarm, into a road-legal model. The move ties the production bike directly to the brand's return to the FIM Supersport World Championship.
At $21,795, the V2 SP costs $1,800 more than the V2 S, and buyers get forged wheels and fully adjustable Öhlins suspension in exchange. The bike's 388-pound claimed wet weight and 4.0-gallon tank define what daily riders can expect.
The takeaway
Track-derived hardware is moving quickly into production bikes, which gives road riders access to racing components at a defined price premium. Buyers weighing the V2 SP should compare its suspension and wheel upgrades against the cost gap over the V2 S.
